We have had notice of the following event hosted by Oxfordshire FHS which may be of interest to Members On 28 June 1914, Archduke Ferdinand was assassinated in Sarajevo ... and the world went to war. On Saturday 28 June 2014 the Oxfordshire Family History Society is holding a one day conference as part of the general and growing interest surrounding the centenary of the First World War and supported by the Federation of Family History Societies' 40th Anniversary sponsorship programme. Pip, Squeak and Wilfred - the record legacy of 1914-1918 Saturday 28 June 2014 at the Marlborough School, Woodstock, Oxon. For just £10/person we have five good talks by five good speakers as well as displays to keep you busy through the breaks. Our plan for the day is to highlight some of the less obvious records of the period without ignoring the most obvious - medals and service records. The day is being jointly sponsored by Oxfordshire FHS and the Federation of Family History Societies. Well provide you with tea and coffee during the day, but weve kept the cost to a minimum by asking you to bring your own lunch. (Please note that there are no options to buy lunch close to the venue.)
